The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie

byChanda Prescod-Weinstein

Cosmologist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein travels to the conceptual edge of space-time, where particles, gravity, quantum theory, and the history of the universe meet unresolved questions. She combines accessible physics with poetry, music, popular culture, history, and Black feminist thought, showing that science is both a way of knowing nature and a human institution shaped by power. The book celebrates the creative imagination required to study realities beyond direct perception. It also asks who gets to participate in that cosmic dream and how scientific culture might become as expansive as the universe it seeks to understand.
